Kids

We know that Child friendly means more than providing a cot and high chair…

Is the thought of getting all the essential kiddie stuff to your destination stressing you out before you even choose a place to stay?

Remember when it was just the two of you and going on holidays was simple? All you had to do was choose your destination, book, pack and Go! Now you are a family and choosing the ideal holiday is more about the kids.

Well, here at Bel Air Gites we know how important family holidays are and we believe we have thought of everything you will need for your babies/toddlers/children to make your gite holiday in France a home from home experience.

Within the Gites you will find everything you need (cots and linen, high chairs, pushchairs, baby baths, stair gates, changing mats, baby monitors, booster seats, potties, toilet trainer seats, steriliser bags, child steps, bath/shower nonslip mats, child proof cupboard/window locks, bath toys, children’s cutlery, hand blender, night lights, blackout blinds and more) and if you can think of something, we haven’t, then just let us know and we will do our best to provide it for you.

Within the grounds we have created a safe environment for children to enjoy a large playing field with swings, slide, climbing frame and trampoline and tunnels. The outdoor heated pool is fenced and gated.

The Play Barn is a huge hit for kids of all ages with a large selection of toys,books and DVD’s, a pool table, footballs, ball games etc. and we pride ourselves on keeping all the children’s activities up to date, clean and modern.

To make packing even easier, we provide all towels, bathroom ( 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel per person) and 1 pool towel per person ( even for the babies!) and tea towels too.

Meet The Owners

A very warm Irish welcome awaits you at Bel -Air gites. Bel - Air has been a favourite with holiday makers for many years. In 2010 we decided it was time to escape from the rat-race to 'live our dream' in the Charente Maritime . We took over the well established child and toddler friendly Bel Air gites at the beginning of the summer season in July 2010. One season here in Bel - Air was enough to convince us that we had made the right decision to change our life style and move to this beautiful part of France.

About Bel Air Gites

The Bel-Air complex offers four individual gîtes (holiday cottages) and a larger farmhouse. Each sleeps between 4 and 6 guests and is decorated in a traditional French provincial style, always with your comfort in mind. Original stone walls keep the heat of the summer months at bay.
All the cottages are comfortable, amply furnished and well equipped, including UK and French TV channels. Plus Wifi is available at no extra cost. You’ll want for nothing!
Each cottage has a private patio with a barbecue. The perfect place to wind down, enjoy a glass of wine, or the excellent local Cognac, and watch the sunsetting across the fields.

We are keen to provide you with your perfect holiday .

tell us what you think, ask any questions , no matter how trivial, we're here to help you!.

“I’d recommend this to any family wanting a toddler friendly holiday”

"Our little girl 2 and little boy 11 months had a fantastic time. There’s everything you need for little ones. They loved the pool, the huge play room and especially the trampoline".

“Most of the people we met were on their 2nd, 3rd or 4th visit – there’s no better recommendation than that!

"Spent 4 fantastic weeks at Bel Air gites this summer, so much so that we’ve already rebooked for 4 weeks next year. Trisha and Paul are very welcoming, easy going and hospitable and nothing is too much trouble. Here’s to next year! "
